I will be back to try the tiramasu!
I ordered two traditional pizzas that you really can’t mess up. I wanted to get a good taste for their brick oven pizza.
I saw people’s reviews so I tried calling them to place an order. After connecting with their answering machine four times, I waited a few more minutes to call back. Wow, they must be so busy that they can’t get to the phone, I thought. This place must be great.
Again, I was excited to try a traditional pepperoni pizza and a sausage and onion pizza. I was surprised when the guy said that they would be ready in ten minutes. Maybe they are not that busy, I thought.
I waited at the counter to have my pizzas boxed up. The guy kept reinserting them into the oven, which I thought was strange. I watched him poor some wine for a lady at the til. And, then repoored it again before he stepped away and told another employee my name and asked him to take care of my order. This guy walks up, diggs his hand into the tip jar and removes all of its contents right in front of me. I’m thinking, that is tacky, and please don’t touch my food now.
He returns to the counter and asks me if he can take my order for here or to go. I pointed to my two pizzas and told him those are mine.
Finally, I get home and look forward to some 4Plus star pizza. I’m looking at them and thinking “not very appitizing.” There was very little toppings on the pepperoni and I was not sure what to think of the mound of onions on the other with some very pale looking sausage placed around.
I grabbed a slice of the sausage/onion and the edge was fine, but the center was a soggy, floppy mess. All of the topping slid off of the slimy, drooping slice.
Next, I searched the pepperoni pizza for a piece that I could actually find a slice of pepperoni on it. This pizza was not as soggy and would have scored higher if there was a slice of pepperoni on each piece.
I don’t think I will make an effort to try this establishment again. Sorry.
The staff are great, and the atmosphere is comfortable and unique. On top of that, it’s in downtown Elk River, so there’s a lot of fun stuff going on nearby.
When we first got there, the GPS took us to the back, and we didn’t see a sign or anything letting us know it was Pompeii. However, as we got closer, we saw a smaller sign letting us know we were at the right place. There was plenty of parking, which was a plus. Also, when we walked in, we were greeted by two gentlemen, and they took our order.
My wife ordered the Taste of Italy, and I ordered the Pompeii Margherita pizza with two fountain drinks. They brought the pizzas to us, and they smelled delicious. Once we took a slice of pizza, it was game over. The pizza was very flavorful and quite different from any other Margherita pizza I’ve ever had. My wife was also pleasantly surprised with her pizza.
The decor wasn’t anything fancy but was nice and not over the top. There was one hiccup, but Aaron and the staff made it right. We will definitely return to see if we can have service without any hiccups.
